This romantic and stunning dress was bought at Kleinfeld in NYC 6 months before my November 2014 NYC wedding. It was also altered at Kleinfeld to fit my body, which was between a typical US size 6-8 at time of my wedding. (Size 28 in jeans, 36B Bra).
There are so many wonderful things about this dress, including the flower appliques scattered about as though roses fell from the sky and landed randomly on the dress. It’s also very light and free, and was incredibly easy to dance in. The bottom moves about freely and looks amazing visually when doing turns (see photos). There is an internal corset that laces up to cinch your waist, and then the outside of the back of the dress has a hidden zipper, so the back looks like one piece. You don’t see the corset but it creates an hourglass like effect when the dress is fully on. There is also some diagonal ruching of the tulle across the front which is extremely flattering, although it doesn’t look like a typically ruched dress. It just adds some texture detail while making your waist look tiny.
I got many inquiries from women as to where I found it because it looks very unique and extremely romantic. (The Augusta Jones website also has photos of this dress.)

It was altered to fit my body, which is a rather typical size 6-8. I am also 5'7" and 128 lbs. and the length was made to fit my height so I could walk without holding it up. It came right down to my toes. There are also bustle ribbons attached to the back so that it can be bustled after the ceremony. One of the ribbons came off during the wedding causing a small hole in the tulle (see photo) which can easily be covered with a new bustle ribbon during new alterations.
I also had a spray tan during my wedding so you'll see some slight tan marks near the underarm area and the inside of the neck line. This should easily be cleaned by dry cleaners.

I have done nothing to preserve it. It was purchased around May of 2014, and I received it from Kleinfeld in Oct 2014. My wedding was in Nov 2014 and after that, it's been hanging in the closet. It'll come in the original hanging dust bag Kleinfeld gave me. It is in excellent condition and the photos don't do it justice.
